Forums - Sony - Share Play is Sony's take on Microsoft's original Xbox One dream

Im hyped. MS's sounds better in theory but at a much larger cost. So I think if for my friend to play a game I have to have my ps4 runing the game and just wach him play is way worth it.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Can't the other person only play for 2 hours or was that only for Far Cry 4?

We had no concrete details on Xbox One family plan which included DRM, so everything you are saying Burek is your opinion on what it could be....

In case you haven't noticed, there is a link to the article that I copied. There are no opinions of mine there...



My favorite part of the article:

 

Update 3:10PM: The article has been updated to clearly note that Share Play was announced during Sony's PlayStation 4 unveiling.

 

 Or, as I like to read it: "Yes we realize that the entire basis of our article was false.  Nothing to see here."



This seems to just be the equivalent as game sharing was back on the PS3 (Not sure if you can do that on PS4) except you can do this with an unlimited amount of people and you don't have to give others your account information XP. This feature doesn't really appeal to me sense you have to play the game through one persons account and I assume as your playing the game on your friends account your friend cant do anything.

Although being able to play local co-op basically online is really cool. Are you guys sure this a confirmed feature becuase it seems odd Far Cry 4 would have a co-op feature announced if you can just do the same thing through gameshare.

This is basically another step in using the network to better connect people. I remember the days when me and my cousins use to crowd around the TV and take turns playing some old school Super Mario, Ninja Gaiden, and Castlevania. Watching back then was almost as fun as playing. We would coach each other and try to come up with strategies together. Unfortunately, with adult responsibilities, crowding around a TV is just not as feasible as it use to be. This update would allow people to do just that, at least to a certain extent.
